GUARDIAN FORCES
Disc 1:
Shiva and Quezacotl .... Get them from the computer at Squall's desk, if you
don't, get them from Quistis when Squall meets her at the front gate.
Ifrit .... You earn him after defeating him at the fire cavern.
Siren .... Draw her from Elvoret during the fight.
Diablos .... Diablos is in the magical lamp you get from Cid before you leave
for your mission.
Sacred and Minotaur .... You get them from the Tomb of the Unkown King.
Carbuncle .... Draw Carbuncle from Iguion.
Disc 2:
Leviathan .... Draw him from Norg after Norg's protective shield shatters.
Pandemona .... During your first ecounter with Fujin and Raijin, you can draw
Pandemona from Fujin.
Tonberry King .... You can find Tonberry at Centra Ruins (near the centre of
the Southern part of the map) You will have to fight about 20 small
Tonberry's before you get to fight the Tonberry King. (I suggest to get
Cactuar first and make him learn Kamikaze, it makes the p rocess a whole
lot easier)
Cerebus .... You can find Cerebus in the Main Hall of Galbadia Garden. You
will want to stock up on the spell called Dispel because Cerebus always
casts Triple on himself, and everytime he does you should cast Dispel on
him. You can get this spell from Death Claw who can also be found in the
Main Hall.
Alexander .... You draw him from Edea. You will definitly want him. If you
don't get him, then you won't get Doomtrain.
Disc 3:
Doomtrain .... You can find the ring with which you summon him from at Tears'
Point. To summon him is a whole different story. You will need 666 items.
You will need (for the 666 items) 6 steel pipes in which you can earn by
defeating Wenidgo, 6 Malaboro Tenticles which you Mug from Malaboro, And
(here's why you need Alexander. He has Med LV Up) you have to turn 60
rememdies into 6 Remedy+'s.
Cactuar .... You have to
defeat him in order to obtain him as one of your GF's. When
"Jumbo Cactuar is hesi tating..." appears at the top of the
screen. That means the end is near. But however, if you take too long, he
will run away which means you will have to fight him all over again.
Bahumut .... You can find
Bahumut at the Deep Sea Research Centre which is located at the South West
Corner of the map. To obtain him, you must defeat two Ruby Dragons with no
breaks in between (Diablos works the best on Ruby Dragon) After you defeat
Ruby, you get to fight Bahumut (no break)
And last but not least...
Make sure Zell is in your
party...
Eden- He is also located at the Deep Sea Research Centre. You must leave
and come back later though. Anyway, once you do come back, you have to
descend the vine that grew while you were gone. On that floor, examine the
panel to open the door. There is five more levels and you have to use RSP
(Reserve Steam Pressure) On Level 2, use two RSP. And for the next 3 use
one RSP each. When you get to level six, let Zell take care of the
machinery s o he can open the door to the excavation site. After that,
there is still a long way down. Once you get down to the bottom, you will
have to fight Ultima Weapon when you start fighting him, draw Eden from
him right away. Once you defeat Ultima Weapon you will get Eden and Your
Guardian Force collection will be complete.

Fortress of Solitude: Nectar Peninsula in Centra
The Enclosed Forest: The Talle Mountains in Esthar
The Roaming Forest: The Bika Snowfield in Trabia
The Basics Forest: The Sorbald Snowfield in Trabia
Ward .... Odine has Ward's Card
Alexander .... Piet has this card, he will be the guy in white on the Lunar

changes into 100 hero's which makes you invincible during a battle)
PuPu- You must find four UFO sightings:

Trabia: The small island by Health Peninsula

Super Strength With Squall
Once your GF's learn STR+10%, 20%, etc. set it on squall. Then junction to his
strength tornadoes if you have 100 of them. With the lion heart and a
flash-using trigger you could probably do 9999 damage every hit, which would
work well with his limit break, Renzokuken.
Get Cactuar GF
First before you try to get Cactuar you should be around level 60 and have the
Levithian GF. You have to go to Cactuar Island which is in the southeast corner
of the Esthar continent. You can distinguish it because of the big green Catuar
that keeps appearing and disappearing on the island, this is the Jumbo Cactuar
that you have to battle. You should equip the Revive and Recover Abilities on
two different people because the Jumbo Cactuar uses the 10,000 needles ability
which can wipe out a character in a single shot. The third person should be able
to cast Life or Full Life spells. Also the Jumbo Cactuar is weak against water
so use Levithian. The Battle is all about patience because you have to keep
reviving your characters and attacking at the same time plus the Jumbo Cactuar
has 60,000 HP. Have one character act as a medic while the other two attack.
After attacking the Jumbo Cactuar for a while a little sign will appear saying
that the Jumbo Cactuar is hesitating. Stop all your attacks at this point
because he may runaway. Just use Levithian and your strongest attacks to finish
him off before you! Stop. After you beat him you got the Cactuar GF. This is one
of the best GFs in the game. When it's at level 100 he can do 10,000 points of
damage and you will never have to boost, ever!
